Today is Christmas...again! The Russian Orthodox Church still follows the Julian Calendar, in spite of the fact that Russia itself follows the Gregorian Calendar. The Julian Calendar is 13 days behind the Gregorian. Thus, to us it is January 7, but to the Russian Orthodox Church (as far as celebrations are concerned), it is December 25th. So for the third time in two weeks, Merry Christmas!
